They did this not because of the lack of available memory but out of sheer laziness. They used the two-digit system to cut down on the number of keystrokes needed to complete the programming, which helped them complete their task faster. It was discovered in the late 1980’s that this Y2K bug could cause computer systems to fail when the year 2000 rolled around because computers might fail to recognize that it is the ye ...

The head unit must have an internal amplifier that can produce at least 25 watts-per-channel so it can adequately power a decent pair of speakers. Reproduction of higher frequency sounds (i.e. violin, flute) as well as lower frequency sounds (bass violin, tuba) require more power to be heard at the same level as a midrange sound (voice, trumpet). The internal amplifier in the head unit must be able to generate enough wattage for the SPL (sound pressure level) of the higher frequencies to be heard cl ...
